Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1229

Which of the following would BEST enhance the capability of a web server to accommodate a significant increase in web traffic?

Answer options

• A. Solid state drives
• B. Virtualized environments
• C. Additional network connections
• D. Elastic cloud architecture

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Elastic cloud architecture allows for scalable resource allocation and can automatically adjust to fluctuations in web traffic, making it the best option for managing increased loads. Solid state drives, virtualized environments, and additional network connections can improve performance, but they do not offer the same level of dynamic scalability as elastic cloud solutions.
